"however much he hated himself for it, that made it all worth it." I think that sums it all up. He's not going to step away - there's no way he could. "he was to weak a man to say no." - yes, he may be strong in every other way, but not where Speed is involved.

Very nice, very apt description of the struggle in X's mind, the dichotomy he has to live with.

Thankyou!

I felt the need to explore X's struggle in a different way; not he lust after him but feels bad bacause Speed's his brother, or even that he's stopped thinking of Speed as his brother, despite that these are both completely plausible interpretations, and i've spent many a happy hour pouring over stories with these themes.

I lust love the idea that however hard he tries he just can't pull himself away from Speed and will do literally anything to win back his love.

Or maybe i just like being difficult in my own special way! ;D

I have to say I really enjoyed the X-centric (wow, that sounds like "eccentric", lulz) nature of this fic. You touched upon his feelings very well and in a way I haven't really seen done before, and I definitely think X's guilt would be a real issue that needed to be addressed. Very well done!

Thanks! (lol, you should hear ALichay and i going on about our X-ercises!) I wanted to take a new approach, so i'm glad i succeeded! XD

Very nice! I like it here is the woods of Angst. X really is impressively screwed up and poor Speed may never know just how badly...

Sweet and happy-dark Ezzy, it’s so good to have you back! What would be do without our Dark queen?

Thankyou! I generally like it too, but the plot bunnies that lurk are vicious and nasty, and can occaisionally leave scars! D: Poor Speedy, he seems to attract the psychopaths doesn't he?

It's good to be back! Glad to know my most screwed up, dark and angsty fics have been missed XD Lol, queen of squee, empress of crack and now princess of darkness, so many crowns to wear! XD

I like my Racercest with a good dose of angst; it sweetens the flavor.

Wow, X has really twisted himself. He's taken a relationship that (to him) was originally not sexual, and warped it so that he's physically attracted to his own flesh and blood.

It's easiest to just start from scratch with "they like each other, they want to have sex". But this fic tries to define that messed up psychology, and gives a good explanation.

Good to know it's not just me then!

I felt the whole he lusts after him so he can love him was an angle that hadn't been done, so i kinda took it upon myself to do it! Glad it worked though XD

Thanks! Sorry i took so long to get back to you, i've been away you see.

For an lj cut, what i always do is firstly post it in its entirety at my own account, then post at Speed_fic, giving the title, summary etc, then find the icon on the post entitled lj cut, click that. The text box is what you want the cut to say (e.g. a line from the story), once you've done that it will appear on the post. Delete all the words (text here, or something) and instead put the link to the page on your journal with the story.

That's what i do at least, i'm sure there's also a load of others too. Hope that helps!
